Instructions
Chocolate Scone
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, cream, egg and sugar.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, baking soda and salt.
- Add butter, and use a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 6 oz Dick Taylor Brazil 75% Dark Chocolate Bar.
- Pour wet mixture over dry ingredients and stir just until dough comes together. Using your hands, knead 3-4 times. Remove dough to a lightly floured work surface.
- Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 10” by 8” rectangle, about ¾” thick. Cut the rectangle in half lengthwise, then cut into thirds crosswise, making six rectangles. Then cut each rectangle into two triangles, making 12 triangles.
- Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until bottoms are brown.
Spiced Glaze
- Combine sugar, spices and milk. Whisk until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk as needed; set aside.
- Cool baked scones for 10 minutes before drizzling with glaze. Allow glaze to set before serving.
